Two coats in the dust
Are all you need for a goal,
And then the beautiful game begins.

From there to a packed stadium
Leaning over the touchline
To experience
Transformation of an
Impossible tangle
Into the perfect goal,
Is the trajectory
Of building community.

Weaving the threads
That connect
Dreams
Throughout the worlds
We live within;
Through these local footpaths
We are creating
This global crossing.

"This project repairs a rift at the heart of the City by bridging Downtown across a hundred years of rail yards to create a public waterfront amenity that integrates the industrial heartland of the Port and revitalization of heritage Gastown. This concentrated urban development at the multi modal hub of the region's transit network both supports regional development and benefits from it. Through its broad spectrum of urban activity in 'everday' and 'event' modes, this node addresses the issues of 'thriving' and 'caring' that are at the core of sustainable 'living', for downtown and beyond."
